Chapter 86: Killing and promotion to the second-level profession!
Time goes back to ten minutes ago.

Seeing Luke waving his hand to let him evacuate, Calvin was almost furious at this moment, but he also knew that with his current ability and pistol shooting skills, staying would only be a burden, so it would be better to retreat for the time being.

So he evacuated along with the rest of the people who were still able to move.

However, after returning to the parking lot, he did not take the time to call the police or evacuate like an ordinary person. Instead, he opened the trunk of the car, took out a black suitcase about 1.5 meters long, picked it up and ran back.

After bypassing the plaza area where the strange change had just occurred and arriving inside the shopping mall, Calvin took the elevator directly to the top floor of the building, ignoring the obstruction of the security personnel.

Luke and Calvin often come to this shopping mall and are very familiar with it. Calvin walked around with his box and found the stairs to the top of the building.

Looking at the locked door at the stairs, Carl Wen pulled out his pistol, aimed at the door lock and shot directly, imitating what he saw in the movie.

Luckily, the lock opened and the ricochet bullet didn't hit me.

Without thinking too much, he kicked the door open, took two steps at a time, and reached the top of the building.

He opened the boxes as he walked, and when he reached the edge of the building, a rifle with a cold iron glow appeared in his hand.

McMillan TAC50 anti-material sniper rifle.

5-round magazine, McMillan fiberglass stock, pistol grip, Remington trigger, trigger pull 3.5 pounds, uses 12.7mm caliber bullets.

After Calvin was promoted to [Fang Siren Berserker], the madness that originally came from his Viking blood made him prepare to choose a shield or a hand axe as his specialized weapon. But after thinking about it, who the hell still plays with a hand axe in modern society?

So the question is, which of the conventional and easy-to-carry weapons is the most powerful?
Without much thought, Calvin subconsciously chose the sniper rifle.

Sometimes Chaofan is just unreasonable. After selecting the weapon specialization type, his sniping level has made great progress after only a few days of practice and test shooting. Although he cannot be called a master, he has at least reached some level.

After setting up the TAC50, Calvin observed the scene in the dungeon below through the scope.

Thanks to the robin, the cave expanded a lot, and Calvin's observation field of view became wider, just enough to include him in the sight.

At this moment, Luke's heart stopped suddenly.

Seeing Luke fall, Calvin's heart was burning with anger, and his spiritual world was cold. He slightly turned the muzzle of the gun and used the scope to measure the distance.

The weather is good today and there is not much wind. With Calvin's current skills, it is beyond his ability to correct the wind deviation, so there is no need to consider the wind speed and direction.

aim.

Take a deep breath.

Hold your breath.

Pull the trigger gently.

"boom"

The sniper rifle bullet was fired at an initial velocity of 850m/s and flew towards the woman who was walking towards Luke.

A distance of a hundred meters was reached in a flash.

The speed of a bullet is faster than sound. Even if the robin has advanced to level 3 and undergone a qualitative change, it can only barely sense the bullet when it is approaching.

He mobilized all his mental strength, and in the face of life and death crisis, the word "Stop" was released at the fastest speed since his advancement.

However, anti-material sniper rifles are different from ordinary rifles after all. The bullets are so powerful that even a third-level transcendent cannot block them completely.

Under the influence of the Word Spirit, the direction of the bullet's flight was slightly deflected, from shooting at the chest to the right arm.

"boom!"

As blood splattered, faint gunshots were finally heard.

The robin was knocked down by the huge impact force, and his entire arm was broken by the bullet, revealing the white stubble at the wound.

On the rooftop of the building, Calvin slightly adjusted the angle that had just been disturbed by the recoil and began to aim again.

opportunity!

While the opponent was trying his best to protect himself, he didn't even summon the [Spirit Fang] back, but directly controlled it to shoot out from the mid-air where it had just been imprisoned.

Under the effect of [Tear Wind], a small tornado drill condensed in front of [Spirit Fang] and, under Luke's control, shot towards the robin's head.

Level 3 is indeed an extraordinary qualitative change, and the thorn punishment of the robin was not in vain. Even in this situation, he still remained vigilant and left room for defense and resistance.

"S"

Before he could finish his words, a sharp pain arose from the root of a tooth in his mouth. Although he was basically used to the pain, and even missed that feeling a little bit because there were no thorns around him during this period of time.

However, the sudden severe pain still interrupted his rhythm briefly, causing him to hold back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

For a robin without a physical body, it doesn't even need effects like [Penetrating] or [Demon Breaking], as [Spirit Fang] can directly break it.

[Tear of Wind], [Bite], [Bloodthirst] and other effects are activated at the same time.

With a whoosh, the [Spirit Fang] pierced through the brain, and a hole with a diameter of two centimeters appeared on both sides of the robin's head.

His brain was completely destroyed, and he didn't even have the chance to say his last words before he fell limply to the ground.

"call"

Finally, killed.

[Spirit Fang] returns to Luke's side under his control, and the [Bloodthirst] effect feeds back the small amount of life energy extracted from the robin's body.

The warm energy flow slowly entered Luke's body through the [Spirit Fang], and then gathered towards his broken leg bone. Luke immediately felt refreshed, and the fatigue in his body dissipated a lot.

Unfortunately, recovering from a fracture is not that easy. He just felt a little more comfortable in his leg and the pain was not as intense.

The panel clearly gives the prompt:
"Kill a Level 3 spiritual creature"

"Obtain 100 Essence of Ascension"

Luke simply checked the panel and found that the so-called "sublimation essence" was an upgraded version of the "spiritual essence", which was obtained by killing spiritual creatures above level three. Its function was to improve the quality and effect of extraordinary skills.

Before Luke could analyze how to use these sublimated essences, earth-shaking changes took place in the dungeon.

With the death of the robin, the blue flame formation, which had been forced to retreat step by step by the evil god's energy, lost its controller, and its stability was greatly reduced. It flickered and was about to dissipate.

The holy light energy extracted from the corpses of four level 3 transcendents of the church, which were temporarily considered to be in the same camp as Blue Flame, also dimmed.

These holy light energies are also extracted from the Blue Flame Array. Once the array becomes ineffective, the holy light energy will also dissipate.

Previously, when the robin used his special ability to question the cult priest, although the conversation was not loud, there was silence around at that time, so Luke basically heard what the cult priest said and understood what happened.

Fuck!
After finally killing the big villain, you still have to take his blame and clean up his mess!

So annoying!
As for running away?

Not to mention that his parents and sister are all in this city. After losing the restraint of the magic circle, it is also a question whether Luke himself can escape before the evil god wakes up.

After all, it is not always possible to rely on the panel to deal with the evil god. Last time at Leaf Farm, it was just a glimpse of the evil god without any foundation or ceremony. This time it was a real advent ceremony. Although the panel is strong, Luke is a mortal. As long as the conditions are met, he will die in front of the panel in minutes.

How to do how to do?
Luke's mind raced.
In short, find a way to maintain the magic circle first!

Luke walked over to the body of the robin, crouched down and began to search.

First, a tooth must be removed as the final ritual weapon for advancement to the second level.

Although he didn't want to desecrate the dead, the robin was such a vicious enemy, and since it was a matter of promotion, Luke suppressed the slight ripples in his heart and simply pried a molar out from the side of his mouth.

At least this way it's not obvious from the outside that he's missing a tooth, and it gives him a bit of dignity.

As Luke took out the tooth, the [Miracle Seed - Tooth] placed on the panel emitted bursts of spiritual light. This spiritual light even appeared directly in the material world, sucking the robin's tooth in mid-air.

After a moment, the spiritual light split into two, one half continued to be invested in the robin's tooth to transform it, while the other half sank into Luke's body, integrated into his body and soul, and enhanced his life essence.

Strong! Strong! Strong!
strength! strength! strength!
Luke's mental strength and physical body were improved synchronously. It felt like the improvement was even ten times stronger than when he was promoted to the first level!
In particular, the surge in mental power even gave Luke a feeling that he could interfere with reality with his mental power out of thin air.

Show up! My telekinesis!
He stared fiercely at a small stone on the ground and tried to move it with telekinesis.

"Get up! Get up!"

He stared at it for nearly ten seconds, but the stone didn't give him any face and didn't move at all.

Dry!
You are being too sentimental again.

However, it is really strong.

Although the panel does not give clear data for physical strength because the data are too complicated, the mental strength is accurately measured on the panel.

When Luke became an apprentice and activated his mental power, the value of his mental power was displayed as 100 on the panel. After being promoted to the first level, with the help of his good friend the Butterfly, his mental power value reached 260.

At this time, after being promoted to the second level, Luke's mental power has reached 900.

As expected, the previous claim of being ten times stronger was all an illusion. Just taking the increase in mental strength as an example, it was only four times.

What Luke didn't know was that this "fourfold increase" that he despised was almost approaching the qualitative change that others experienced when they were promoted to Level 3.

After a moment, the transformation of the robin's tooth was completed. The last ray of light sent the tooth to Luke's hand and disappeared without a trace.

The last step of the promotion is finally completed, and the panel gives a prompt:

"Evolved into a Level 2 spiritual creature."

"Promoted to the 2nd-level occupation of the Fang sequence - Death Stalker"

"Obtain extraordinary skill - Death Hunting."

"Spiritual strength greatly improved"

"Moderate increase in physical strength"

"Death Hunting: Use mental power to mark a target, greatly increasing the damage inflicted on the target. When the target is injured, the wound will form a hunting mark on the spiritual level, which can be tracked through spiritual perception."

"Obtained extraordinary origin equipment - Bone Tooth Necklace."

"Bone Tooth Necklace: When you kill an enemy of the same level as yourself, you can collect the enemy's teeth to make a Bone Tooth Necklace. Based on the enemy's abilities when they were alive, you can gain additional enhancement effects. Currently, the Bone Tooth Necklace can carry up to 7 tooth trophies. Currently, there is 6 empty positions."

"The bone tooth necklace currently carries: 'Mockingbird's Tooth', which increases the persuasiveness of the bearer's language."

After being promoted to the second level and gaining a lot, Luke even felt that if he could do it again, he could kill Robin alone.

Although the skill description of [Death Hunt] is simple, the simpler the description, the more powerful the skill is. Only skills that are not strong enough will be given a bunch of complicated skill introductions.

The damage is greatly increased, just attack with A and it will be killed in seconds.

Is any action required?

With the huge mental power at this time, the flying speed, impact force and most importantly the energy addition of [Spirit Fang] are several times stronger. If the opponent is not vigilant enough, killing him with one blow is not a dream.

The promotion seemed to take a long time, but it actually took less than a minute.

Luke walked away from the pleasure of becoming stronger, and helplessly faced the reality that the evil god was about to come.

He squatted down again and searched the robin for clues.

The other person was dressed simply, with nothing on except a long black dress.

However, a brass bird-beak-shaped ring on her hand and a spiral staircase-shaped necklace around her neck attracted Luke's attention.

Bird beak wound
Long Stairway to God
Luke took off the two ornaments.

After taking the two ornaments brought by the robin, he sensed them slightly and found that they were indeed extraordinary items.

These two extraordinary items are even more convenient than Luke's amulet. No secret words are needed. You can just use your mental power to probe into them and they will work as you wish.

The effect of the ring is to inject spiritual power and summon a robin in the void, which will peck at the target locked by the spiritual power. The bird of the void can only appear within a two-meter range of the ring and cannot be summoned again within ten seconds.

The necklace is a prop for controlling the blue flame array. As soon as Luke's mental power penetrated into it, it began to be consumed rapidly. Almost half of his mental power was instantly absorbed by the necklace.

That is Luke, who had unlocked his mental power since his apprenticeship stage, and achieved significant improvements when he was promoted to level 1 and level 2.

Any other level 2 transcendent would be drained of mental energy by this wave of absorption.

After all, this blue flame formation was originally prepared for those who are developing their mental power at the third level.

Fortunately, after the first violent absorption, the subsequent absorption of mental power became much gentler, and Luke had the confidence to hold on for a while longer.

The Blue Flame Array is very intelligent. When the internal energy intensity is one-sided, it will actively help the Holy Light fight against the power of the summoned evil god. Therefore, he does not need to operate it personally, just provide mental power.

However, given the current situation, if the evil god's arrival is not interrupted, the formation provided by the so-called "Stairway to Godhood" organization will not be able to hold out for long.

Luke picked up the phone and wanted to call Calvin, only to find that the broken magic circle seemed to have blocked all nearby signals.

Fortunately, Calvin saw the enemy's death through the sight early on. After looking around and finding no more enemies, he put away his gun and went down through the elevator.

He stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at the surging blue flames, and shouted down: "Luke, isn't it over yet?"

"No!" Luke replied in the same voice: "Help me find a few mice nearby. They must be big, smart, and alive! As soon as possible!"

Although it is not clear what is happening now, and I don’t know what Luke wants the mouse for, but between good brothers, there is no need to ask or explain, just do it!

He had tried just now on the rooftop, but the call couldn't be made.

All the people who could move nearby had run away, and the rest who couldn't run were attracted by the pollution of the foreplay of the evil god's arrival. He and Luke were the only living people who could move, so there was no help and he had to do it alone.
